Аннотация:Abstract
In order to infer about the origin of solar relativistic particles (SRP) from the particle event of October 28th, 2003, we proceed to
do a confrontation of the experimental energy spectra with the theoretical spectra derived from a transport equation for stochastic
acceleration. On basis to a two-source model of particle generation, one of which is associated with an expanding magnetic loop, we
solve the transport equation including adiabatic losses simultaneously with the stochastic acceleration process. The confrontation
shows that there are two different populations during this event, one of which, the so-called ‘‘delayed component’’ may be correctly
described by stochastic acceleration, but not the so-called ‘‘prompt component’’. We found that the required acceleration efficiencies
turn to be very high, so that for this particular event, adiabatic cooling is practically negligible as far as the energy spectrum is concerned.
Qualitative inferences point toward a dominated Alfven accelerating turbulence. Our results provide a new support to the
existence of two relativistic particle populations in some solar relativistic particle events.
